Proof that liberalism is a mental disorder.

Liberals need to grow up and get a fully formed brain. Otherwise they are just dealing with a semi-developed brain. If your brain never fully develops, then you have a mental disorder. If you are a liberal, you either have an under-developed brain (which will correct itself with age) or you have a mental disorder. Either way, you should seek help. ;)

What if someone has a fully developed brain and becomes a liberal?

Does their brain revert back to being undeveloped?

I almost think your brain is not fully developed. Well, you will grow out of your fantasies someday and understand what your saying is nonsense.

It's like everything. Have you heard the saying, "Use it or lose it?" Well..., if you don't use your brain, it atrophies ;)

There was nothing in that link's observations on the differences between the Liberal and the Conservative brain to suggest that the former is a mental disorder.

IN fact, all of the alleged aberrations in the brain's normal architecture and chemical processes were attributed to the Conservative Mind, such as the enlarged amygdala.

So this begs the question: did you even read the link you provided?

And...for the record, I personally find the observations in that article highly spurious. It is certain that there are many many exceptions to their claims, such as Liberals with enhanced amygdalas. And I am doubting that the amygdala can even change size due to one's political ethos, anyway.

The article's authors seemed to make a common mistake, and that is, confusing "causal" factors for "corollary" ones. That is to say, just because somebody of a certain mental type indeed possesses a specific physical or psychological attribute, this does not mean that said mental type is CAUSED by that physical attribute. Rather, the two just may happen to coincide in some people.

Just more proof that what the USA really needs is a return to moderation instead of either lobe dominating.

I didn't even read it, and don't have to, because it isn't a mental disorder. It is a political ideology(or part of one).

It looks more like conservatives have the mental disorder:"What's more, a study found that conservatives were aroused to a greater extent than liberals when shown disturbing images, such as those depicting infested wounds."

This is because Conservatism is adopted by people with a greater genetic disposition for increased depth and breadth of moral concerns including a sense of discust. Conversely, people tend lean relatively more conservative after washing their hands or even using hand sanitizer. At least according to Jonathan Haidt

It is because the deranged conservative mind likes to make decisions based on grotesque images. If you make decisions based on those images you get to see them more often.

Psychopaths show next to no stimulation mentally when shown such images.

A classic test for psychopathy is to show the subject a series of words and measure their heart rate. When words like rape, murder, paedophile etc show up they show zero increase in heart rate, non-psychopaths don't to varying degrees.

Psychopathy is not the only mental disorder.
